I'm very new as a Scratcher, but I do not understand why a password is necessary.
If i understood that documentation, the “user id” identifies uniquely each Scratcher using a project, and this user id do not change even when the same scratcher comes back to play again with the project ?
Thi is not true for unidentified guests of the scratch website.

Furthermore, encrypting data would require to provide a key to decrypt the data. so, if there is data indicating, for exemple, future configurations of the board, only the “moderator” of the game could provide the key. But in that he must be online.

Is there any complete explanation about that somewhere ?

PS: I've made a comment about that in http://mv.ezproxy.com.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/forums/post/8092/ but I begin to doubt about what I wrote.

I have some ideas for how to fix a lot of the design issues associated with cloud data. What is the best way to talk with the ST (maybe privately) on implementing these (and discussing them generally)? See here

Is he still on the job? I haven't seen any movement on any of the Cloud Data bugs in the tracker in… well… ever!

Scratch team It would be nice if you would add a function for encryption, because if you add a username-password system to your project, it wouldn't be nice if everybody could read the passwords, I imagined like this:

-When gf was klicked
-ask ("hello, are you allready registered type Y/N")
-if local answer = "Y" then
-ask ("what is your username")
-if cloud list usernames contains local answer then
-set local username to local answer
-ask ("what is your password")
-if cloud list passwords contains encrypt("local answer") + username then
-say ("logged in with the right password")
-else
-say ("password didn't exist")
exit()
end
-else
-say ("username dindn't exist")
exit()
end
-else
-ask ("tell your username")
-if cloud list usernames contains local answer then
-say ("username already exist")
-exit()
-set local username to local answer
-ask ("What password do you want?")
-set local password to local answer
-set local password to encrypt("local password") + username
-add local username to cloud list usernames
-add local password to cloud list passwords
end

I didn't code in scratch for a long time, because you couldn't made multiplayer functions, so I coded directly in java, sorry if i wrote some commands wrong, and I am from German sorry if my english is not the best.
So my Idea is to add encrypt() to operators maybe an MD5 encryption or something diffrent,
I hope the Idea will be noticed and undestand despite of my not really good knowledge of english.
If I forgot something, ask and add your Ideas!

Passwords aren't needed. Just use userids stored in a list.
